Seedlings on a concrete utility cover
Here are seedlings of native Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) in the Portulacaceae or Montiaceae plant family getting backed into a corner by moss and a bolt on a concrete utility cover in the canyon. Note the raindrops - we had a bit of rain yesterday, and everything looks fresh and clean today. Yeah, Miner's Lettuce has round leaves that encircle the stems, but they start with these narrow leaves. This is also my photo for the Macro Mondays group this week, with the theme of "corners". Not every corner we find ourselves in has straight edges, so HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 1 January 2017)
